Internship Program
The Summer Internship Program offered once a year from June to August is an excellent opportunity to serve our community and explore new avenues in public service. We are seeking exceptional candidates to apply for this program.
The internship program of the Embassy is designed to
provide students with a unique opportunity of involvement in governmental
affairs and to provide them with a general understanding of the Pakistan-US
bilateral relations. The interns would have the opportunity of working
directly with the Embassy diplomats. This first hand experience is highly
valuable for those who are interested in international relations. Upon
successful completion of the internship, participants will receive a certificate
signed by the Ambassador and the Head of Chancery.
The interns’ attachment with the Embassy would
be on a voluntary basis. They would not receive any remuneration for their
work, usually five days per week. Students are encouraged to apply for
academic credits from their Universities for the internship programme
with the Embassy.
Location:
Interns are normally attached with the diplomatic wing
of the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington DC. Room and board would be the
interns’ own responsibility. The Embassy would try to assist in
finding suitable accommodation.
